Franchise Support: Training

Knowledge of the industry and how to reach it is the foundation from which your business will grow. Our ideal franchisee is someone with business skills and sales experience – not someone from within the industry. Therefore the training you’ll receive is a comprehensive step-by-step process.

Initial Training – Wirth Business Credit University

Training starts before you arrive in Minneapolis for the official training class and continues long after you leave. The training format includes a combination of classroom, round table and case studies with topics including:

• Business Planning
• Leasing 101 – What exactly is this business all about?
• Sales and Marketing – Methods that get results
• Market Segmentation
• Industry targets
• Working with Vendors and National Accounts
• Working with Lessees
• Code of Ethics
• Technology and Software
• Post Training Action Plans
• Public Relations
• Advertising

On-going Training

We know it’s impossible to learn everything about this business in one week. We expect your learning process to continue with each call you make and transaction you complete so we offer continued training through:

• Conference Calls
• One-on-One Consultations
• Refresher Training Classes

Annual Franchisee Conference

One of the most valuable on-going training opportunities is the Annual Franchisee Conference. Conference topics are gathered throughout the year from the experiences our franchisees have had in their markets. Specific training classes and seminars are held addressing these topics through classroom and round table discussions. In addition, the time spent networking with fellow franchisees is priceless.
